Research
and Markets has announced the addition of Screen Digest’s new report “Television
Market Monitor: IPTV Q1 2009” to their offering.
IPTV launches from major telcos across the globe have been responsible for rapid uptake
of the new pay-TV platform. IPTV Market Monitor is a quarterly report detailing and
describing the continued roll-out of the platform around the world.
Over 150 companies across six regions (North America, Western and Eastern Europe,
MEA, Asia-Pacific and Latin America) are assessed on an ongoing basis as part of our
research into the IPTV sector.
Highlights:
- Global IPTV subscriber base hits almost 23m
- North America overtakes Western Europe as main contributor to IPTV growth
- Brazil’s Videon put on hold while satellite TV rolled-out
- Imagenio loses IPTV subscribers in Spain despite new pricing model
The rest is here:
Report: Television Market Monitor – IPTV Q1 2009
Getting access to Sky Sports on broadband costs £35 a month.
And in return Sky use P2P technology to save costs.
However, even at this hefty subscription, you are very unlikely to see the events that you have paid for even at half decent quality. In fact, much of the them they will simply not be available even at the lowest quality.
I have failed on both a 4Mbps connection and on a very reliable 20Mbps connection after using this service for several months.
THIS IS A TOTAL RIP OFF AND SKY SHOULD BE TOTALLY ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES. PLEASE DO NOT PAY MONEY TO THESE MONEY GRABBING THIEVES.
Can all readers of this blog please re-post this and pass it on.
